ALL OUT DRAMA

I slaved and slaved over what to name these beads and then I realized these beads were for someone who was fashion forward.

ALABASTER EASTER EGGS

 I had fun making these and I think you will have fun wearing them with your Easter bonnet.

SHAMROCK LENTILS

 Lentils with shamrocks everywhere. Emerald green spacers give a rich detail and set off the shamrocks with a pretty gleam

HEART THROB

 Rich, vibrant red, soft pink, fuchsia, all the colors of romance are here

CANADIAN CHRISTMAS

The green glass that makes up the holly is a pine green and on the white background it creates a very L.L. Bean look

Happy Halloween

 This is the first set of Halloween beads I have ever made. I had a ball.

WILMA FLINTSTONE STYLE

 Remember how Wilma Flintstone wore those beads around her neck with the off the shoulder dress?

CHERRIES IN THE SNOW

One of my favorite bottles of nail polish is called Cherries in the Snow. When I want a true pretty red nail polish I pick up that bottle. I have been inundated with Christmas beads lately and red, white, and green has been prominent on my work bench for a few days.

Holly Lentils

I hope your monitor is nice and clear as each lentil is sporting holly.

CAVIAR & MINK LENTILS

Perfect fall transition colors. Perfect in the board room or on the beach Some great focal beads here

Animal print pillow beads. I love to wear these beads, I love to make these beads, and I love the animal print.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

 Strawberry red, pure white, and a peachy/pink are warmed together to create a set of beads that reflect some of the transitional colors for summer/fall '04

These beads are named because one of my favorite places is my garden and I plant all flowers to fall within a pink color scheme.

They are as much fun as it was to watch the Flintstones on Saturday morning

I was reading that email as I was working on this set of beads and I thought that would make the best name for a set of beads. This set sold right away, but I wanted you to see them. I am pretty sure I will be working with these colors again soon.
